"Bill and Hillary Clinton's daughter married her long-time boyfriend
in the picturesque New York village of Rhinebeck today in what has been
dubbed America's royal wedding.

Chelsea Clinton - the only child of the former US president and the
US secretary of state - wed Marc Mezvinsky at Astor Courts, an historic
50-acre (20-hectare) estate on the Hudson River, about 160 km north of
New York City.

"Today, we watched with great pride and overwhelming emotion as
Chelsea and Marc wed in a beautiful ceremony at Astor Courts,
surrounded by family and their close friends," Bill and Hillary Clinton
said in a statement.

"We could not have asked for a more perfect day to celebrate the
beginning of their life together, and we are so happy to welcome Marc
into our family," the statement said.

"On behalf of the newlyweds, we want to give special thanks to the
people of Rhinebeck for welcoming us and to everyone for their
well-wishes on this special day."

The statement, sent just after 7:30 pm (12:30pm NZT today), did not indicate exactly when the nuptials took place.

On Friday night, Bill and Hillary Clinton waved to crowds of
onlookers as they arrived at the historic Beekman Arms Inn in the
center of Rhinebeck for a late-night cocktail party for some of the
wedding guests.

Apart from the parents of the bride, the only other high profile
guests seen in Rhinebeck have been Bill Clinton's former secretary of
state, Madeleine Albright, actors Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen and
fashion designer Vera Wang.

Also spotted was real estate scion and movie producer billionaire
Steve Bing. Bing lent Bill Clinton his jet to fly to North Korea in
August of last year to bring home American journalists Laura Ling and
Euna Lee after they spent four months imprisoned in the reclusive
communist state.

Guests boarded buses in Rhinebeck to be taken to Astor Courts about 5 pm EDT (10am NZT)

Chelsea Clinton, 30, and Mezvinsky, 32, have known each other since
they were teenagers. He is an investment banker, whose parents Marjorie
Margolies-Mezvinsky and Edward Mezvinsky were once Democratic US House
of Representatives members.

Chelsea Clinton, who worked at a New York hedge fund and has more
recently studied health policy at Columbia University, has kept a low
profile since her father left the White House in January 2001, although
she campaigned for her mother during her failed run for the 2008
Democratic presidential nomination.

Signs and pictures congratulating the newlyweds hang in many shop
windows in Rhinebeck, which has been swarmed by media around the world
for an event that experts estimate to have cost between $US3 million
and $US5 million.

Airspace above Rhinebeck has been closed for 12 hours from 3 pm EDT
(7pm NZT) today for the wedding and media were kept well away from the
entrance to Astor Courts. Security in the area was comparable to that
surrounding state visits.

The guest list was reported to be between 400 and 500, but did not include a very understanding President Barack Obama.

"Hillary and Bill properly want to keep this as a thing for Chelsea
and her soon-to-be husband," Obama said on The View talk show on
Thursday. "It would be tough enough to have one president at a wedding.
You don't want two presidents."

Introduction
As human linguistic practice reveals, accessing to concepts through natural
language is the implicit pathway for enabling mutual comprehension and
effective meaning negotiation between agents in a community. But, in order
to exchange knowledge, we need to share the conceptual models underlying the
lexicon, namely ontologies. These remarks become even more crucial when
focusing on human-computer interaction. In this context, computational
ontologies and human-language technologies converge in the task of providing
the semantic description of knowledge contents (e.g. multimedia, web
resources, services, etc.): underlying intended models need to be made
explicit in order to become accessible by artificial agents and sharable
with humans. According to this picture, 1) computational lexicons, whose aim
is to make lexical-content machine-understandable, constitute a fundamental
component to foster the (mono- and multi-linguistic) access to any knowledge
content; 2) computational ontologies, on the other side, are necessary to
capture the logical structure of those knowledge contents: both contribute
to dig out the basic elements of a given semantic space (domain-dependent or
general), characterizing the different relations holding among them.
In this general framework, the contributions presented under the scope of
OntoLex 2010 (Ontologies and Lexical Resources) show in fact a variety of
approaches under many respects. Some of the papers are oriented to describe
the different construction processes of semantic resources (e.g., Daoud et
al. and Nagata deal with two approaches based on Wikipedia), other papers
are especially concerned with specific tasks and applications. Regarding the
latter aspect, some contributions present proposals to enhance
interoperability within the various standardization formats for linguistic
and terminological descriptions (Peters, Vossen et al.) as well as
exploiting specific algorithms for ontology matching. Some papers also focus
on formal ontology, both at the level of theoretical analysis and at the
level of specific categories and relations (see for example the paper by
Bogulaslavsky). The investigated domains span from bio-surveillance (Conway
et al.) through medicine; sentiment/opinion mining confirms to be an
emergent area of interest too (see Cadilhac et al.). Automatic techniques
and algorithms to extract terms and taxonomies are also introduced (Van der
Plas, Nagata et al., vor der Brück).
Originating in 2000, OntoLex is recognized as a common "meeting place" by a
constantly growing interdisciplinary community of lexicographers,
ontologists and computational linguists. Traditionally represented by
researchers and practitioners from a variety of backgrounds (acquisition of
lexical knowledge, ontology-based approaches to information extraction,
ontology learning, ontology matching, etc.), OntoLex 2010's contributions
confirm this trend in the Sixth edition of the workshop too, hosted by
COLING conference for the first time. We think that the comprehensive
perspective emerging from the 10 articles collected in these proceedings can
help in progress towards next-generation knowledge systems based on the
integration between ontologies and lexical resources.

In 2007 there was a workshop on content extraction from web pages. You
could gave a look at the papers presented there:
http://cleaneval.sigwac.org.uk/
If you intend to follow feeds, and need to extract content from these,
you can use a learning approach. For each feed you collect a certain
number of pages, and you learn which part of the page changes, and which
parts don't. From that it shouldn't be hard to determine "real" content.
You could also have a look at fivefilters, it works pretty good given
the simple approach is uses:
http://fivefilters.org/content-only/
(following a few links, you can get to the (php) code).

If you intend to follow feeds, and need to extract content from these, you can use a learning approach. For each feed you collect a certain number of pages, and you learn which part of the page changes, and which parts don't. From that it shouldn't be hard to determine "real" content.

You could also have a look at fivefilters, it works pretty good given the simple approach is uses:http://fivefilters.org/content-only/
(following a few links, you can get to the (php) code).

I am only interested in extracting the tile: "Chelsea Clinton marries in NY"
and the subject below. How easy is this?

"Bill and Hillary Clinton's daughter married her long-time boyfriend in the picturesque New York village of Rhinebeck today in what has been dubbed America's royal wedding.
Chelsea Clinton - the only child of the former US president and the US secretary of state - wed Marc Mezvinsky at Astor Courts, an historic 50-acre (20-hectare) estate on the Hudson River, about 160 km north of New York City.

"Today, we watched with great pride and overwhelming emotion as Chelsea and Marc wed in a beautiful ceremony at Astor Courts, surrounded by family and their close friends," Bill and Hillary Clinton said in a statement.

"We could not have asked for a more perfect day to celebrate the beginning of their life together, and we are so happy to welcome Marc into our family," the statement said.

"On behalf of the newlyweds, we want to give special thanks to the people of Rhinebeck for welcoming us and to everyone for their well-wishes on this special day."

The statement, sent just after 7:30 pm (12:30pm NZT today), did not indicate exactly when the nuptials took place.

On Friday night, Bill and Hillary Clinton waved to crowds of onlookers as they arrived at the historic Beekman Arms Inn in the center of Rhinebeck for a late-night cocktail party for some of the wedding guests.

Apart from the parents of the bride, the only other high profile guests seen in Rhinebeck have been Bill Clinton's former secretary of state, Madeleine Albright, actors Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen and fashion designer Vera Wang.

Also spotted was real estate scion and movie producer billionaire Steve Bing. Bing lent Bill Clinton his jet to fly to North Korea in August of last year to bring home American journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee after they spent four months imprisoned in the reclusive communist state.

Re: How do we extract actual text in html?

Cleaneval is a good place to find out the problems and many solutions. However, my experience is that it ultimately depends on your exact needs. And the methods can be broadly categorized in two classes: deterministic and learning based. Unless you want to work on data with completely arbitrary formats, learning doesn't seem to be a good idea.

There is some code for text extraction from HTML documents and one or two utilities in Sanchay, but there is no documentation and the it is not connected to the current public GUI. The available code will have to be slightly modified for specific formats: some simple code that uses the HTML parser library to effectively create a template for extraction of a specific format. For a single format, it is not very time consuming.

If you intend to follow feeds, and need to extract content from these, you can use a learning approach. For each feed you collect a certain number of pages, and you learn which part of the page changes, and which parts don't. From that it shouldn't be hard to determine "real" content.
